Productivity is failing to fire - is red tape or the nature of what we produce in NZ to blame? The economists I spoke to (Dave Heatley & @CLRenney) shared differing views on the causes and solutions. nzherald.co.nz/business/produ…
After months and months of gaslighting NZ’s debt level, the Minister of Finance has finally confirmed they will be borrowing more. They wouldn’t need to borrow more if they hadn’t promised tax cuts.
If the PM really cared about working people, he wouldn’t be getting rid of jobs, he wouldn’t have cut the minimum wage, and he wouldn’t have scrapped Fair Pay Agreements, which would have lifted the pay of hundreds of thousands of low-income workers. nzherald.co.nz/nz/unions-slam…
Amazing Australia can provide such better quality of life when it has unaffordable and economically destructive policies like Fair Pay Agreements, capital gains taxes, an income tax-free threshold, 45% tax on income over $190k, and a higher minimum wage stuff.co.nz/nz-news/350235…

Nicola’s numbers never added up.
Nicola Willis was scathing when the previous govt adjusted the spending allowance in the Budget. Her solution seems to be to just not set a spending allowance in the first place! It’s easy to see she can’t make the numbers add up. The govts promises are unaffordable.
